Congrats, Bob . . . that's great news.

The "Apocalypse thread" reminded me of a question I have been wondering about for a long time.This is the digital age and currency is now more ephemeral and malleable than ever.

@Ben Freiman Thank you for the story, this is really an important topic that comes up in the news every single year.

., I was wondering if any of you recommend a magazine/newsletter/newspaper that's good for keeping up with local Charlotte real estate news, trends, and sales. 

Listening to business news recently the investors will losing interest and divert their money to other sector of business which are profitable. 

I remember this dude from Fox News (Fox and Friends Weekend).

In the end, agents are busy people too and it rests on us as buyers to be proactive about checking out the listings they send our way and see if we need their help to proceed.It will be the same with any new agent you hire, particularly if they are a buyer’s agent not being paid by the buyer – the incentive while there is not as strong to be working any more than necessary just for the buyer to turn around and say, no notinterested in that one, just my opinion, but ultimately it comes down to time, a rare commodity and while you may have discussed what you want, it always comes back to us as the buyer to check out what is presented to us.The Good news is that it is not too late for you to make an offer if you really like this house, but I would suggest visiting it and running the numbers, maybe even having some knowledgeable people here on BP that you trust, help you with reviewing the numbers with you.To remove the awkwardness and ensure that your best interests are being met, I would do as @David N Peterson suggested, which is to go with a separate agent and also just keep your lips zipped.That being said, I am curious, did you sign a contract with the agent that would prevent you from doing this, i.e. going with another agent?

The good news is that if we grow, they have larger space to grow into.

@Edward Brewington you watch too much news.

The weather in Cincinnati has been very odd this winter with 1 week being in the single digits and snow falling to the very next week the temperatures being in the 50's.
